This is a warm working environment where diversity is promoted.
SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER (Former Employee), Hampton, VA – January 8, 2013
Pros: diversity is encouraged and maintained.
Cons: increased class size was making teaching a little difficult.
A typical day starts with the saying of the National Pledge by every body and a moment of silence which provides one a moment of reflection. These are followed by two lessons for 90 minutes each sessions and a 25 minutes lunch and a 90 minute planning between the subject teachers and the special education teacher. In this planning, a review of the lessons – more... are done and corrective actions are designed and new lesson plans are made. The last 90 minutes are used for the last lesson of the day.
The management encourages diversity and creativity. Training is promoted to improve performance of teachers. Co-workers are always willing to help others who need help. I learned to be a team player. I enjoyed the once a month dinner which is organized by the teachers and encouraged by the management. – less

love working with the kids, not so much with the parents
School Bus Driver (Former Employee), Hampton, VA – September 11, 2012
Pros: weekends, and holidays off
Cons: irate parents, the pay, and how often paid
Five day work week with great hours, i loved the kids but the parents on the other hand i had to get use to them being so nasty, that was the hardest part of the job, being cursed out daily and occasionally a student that was the bad seed. The most enjoyable part of the job was the children I drove for eight years so i got to see some of the kids grow – more... from pre-k all the was to the eight grade. I also really enjoyed my coworkers, i gained a few great friends during my time there. The only thing that i really disliked about that job was the once a month pay. – less

Working In Hampton City Schools Has Been Amazing
Substitute Teacher (Current Employee), Hampton, VA – July 17, 2012
Pros: getting to know the staff, students and parents
Cons: short breaks, no benefits
HCS is an awesome place of business in which I have learned many things about teaching and further working with children. A typical day at work may just be going over assisgnments in class, having recess, and or free time, then lunch. The management there are determined to assist every child and parent to the best of their ability. My co-workers are – more... very helpful and we opporate as a team. The hardest part of the job may be classroom management for some. The most enjoyable part of the job is watching the students when they really understand what you have been teaching them and they can execute it. – less
